Sardines are not a specific type of fish, they can be any of several kind that are the right size to fit into a can.
You can buy smelts and similar fish at some fish markets.

I think the last fishery for sardines in the US was back during the heyday of Monterey Bay's Cannery Row.
So, sardines are all taken by foreign-flagged vessels outside US borders.

You can, they are called smelts. Sardines are smelts that have been prepared in oil and canned. If you want fresh sardines, ask for smelts.

You can probably find fresh ones at a bait & tackle shop.

#1 Supply not meeting demand... Also they have a limited shelf life.
